Body Scan: The Inner Landscape

Meditation: Mettā Bhāvanā

Mettā Bhāvanā [https://www.mysoreyogaparis.com/journal/february2026] - the Cultivation of Loving Kindness, sometimes simply translated as Friendliness - is one of the oldest and most powerful practices in the Buddhist tradition. It is not an aspiration to feel differently than you do. It is a training in compassion: a deliberate, gradual strengthening of the heart's capacity to stay open - to oneself first, and then outward, into the world.  This 20 min guided Mettā Meditation is a live recording from my retreat in Tenerife [https://www.mysoreyogaparis.com/retreats], held in gentle soundscapes. It is best experienced using head-phones. Thank you for your practice.

Body Scan: The Inner Landscape

This body scan is an invitation to establish inner reference before āsana practice, or daily life begins – so that we can better attune whatever follows to our inner climate.  Lying in a neutral śavāsana, we’re guided to feel our body as it is, its weight, structure, and relationship to gravity. Attention moves through bones and joint spaces, pelvis and spine, inviting a felt sense of support and inner architecture.  From there, awareness softens into the tissues, organs, and fluids of the body. The belly becomes a pond, the breath a gentle wave, the heart resting quietly between the lungs. Sensation, circulation, and the subtle movement of prāṇa are allowed to reveal themselves. We’re invited to notice energy, emotion, and the quality of attention present without analysis or story. This is a practice of deep listening.  It is a live recording from my In-Depth Training in Paris [https://www.mysoreyogaparis.com/trainings], Nov 2025 and is best experienced using head-phones.  Thank you for your practice.

Meditation on Hara

As we open the new year, this meditation invites us to cast our anchor in our Belly Centre (Hara). Across both Eastern and Western wisdom traditions this domain is recognised as our main spring of embodied wisdom. Without a clear connection to this home-ground, our Heart-Mind can feel fragile, scattered, and ill equipped to steward the world it inhabits. From this inner ground of body intelligence, we explore our deeper aspirations and cultivate intentionality as we move forward – allowing a a tender, undefended heart to open naturally to the world.

Soundscape: The Breath Space

The Breath Space began as a live recording during Kia’s in-depth training [https://www.mysoreyogaparis.com/trainings] in Paris and has since evolved into a full album [https://open.spotify.com/album/2kY3SmzEpjCQNxQOoa9ozi?si=owLsO8f6TvGY671SHaistQ] with the same name, now available on all platforms. This original recording opens with Kia guiding a brief breath-awareness practice, helping us notice the subtle currents that shape our body with each in- and out-breath. From there, we gather in Samastitihi, aligning body, breath, and mind, before moving through 80 minutes of Yotam's immersive soundscapes designed to carry us through our Asana practice. Throughout, gentle reminders invite us to return to the openness and presence of our inner breath. Kia also shares one of her favourite quotes by Ani Pema Chödrön.

Meditation: Holding Grief in Compassion

Loss—whether fresh or long woven into your life, whether it’s a person, a relationship, or something less tangible—lives within us all. It shapes our days in quiet ways. This meditation is an invitation to meet grief gently, and only as you feel ready. As we hold space for our personal sorrow, it can become a doorway into a collective journey of healing and compassion that holds all beings.
